Frontiers in Electronic Elections (FEE 2005)
Call for Participation
The workshop is organized by ECRYPT, the European Network of Excellence in
Cryptology, and in association with ESORICS 2005,
the 10th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security, which takes place
September 12-14, in Milan. The workshop is an activity of ECRYPT's PROVILAB, the virtual lab on
cryptographic protocols.
It follows in the tradition of a series of workshops devoted to
cryptographic voting methods, such as
WOTE '01 and the
2003 DIMACS
Workshop on Electronic Voting.
Confirmed Invited Speakers
- David Chaum (Votegrity and KU Leuven)
- Jens Groth (UCLA)
- Martin Hirt (ETH)
- Andy Neff (VoteHere)
- Ron Rivest (MIT)
Program, incl. some abstracts and presentations are available.
Registration
Please visit ESORICS workshops registration page.
Incidentally, you may also want to check out the International Workshop
on Mathematics and Democracy: Voting Systems and Collective Choice which is also held in Italy
(Erice, Sicily), September 18-23, 2005.
Travel Information
The workshop starts at 9:00am on Thursday, September 15, and ends on Friday, September 16, around lunch.
It is held at the Palazzo Greppi, Sala Napoleonica,
in downtown Milano, the same venue as ESORICS 2005.
Please consult the ESORICS travel page for information.
Scope
For some 25 years cryptographers have been proposing electronic voting schemes of ever increasing
strength and versatility, dealing with ballot secrecy, election integrity etc., typically
viewing the problem as a special case of secure multiparty computation.
The aim of this workshop is to
bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry, who are working on
cryptographic protocols for electronic voting systems, to evaluate the state of the art, to share
practical experiences, and to look for possible enhancements.
Topics include but are not limited to
- Election integrity
- Election verifiability
- Ballot secrecy
- Voter anonymity
- Voter authorization
- Receipts and coercibility
- Secure bulletin boards
- Implementation of broadcast channels
- Implementation of anonymous channels
- Threat models
- Formal requirements
- Formal security analysis
Format
The workshop will consist of invited keynote presentations and contributed
presentations. There will be no proceedings, but a handout with abstracts
will be provided to all participants.
